When a fire alarm is activated, occupants should close all windows and doors, walk to the nearest exit, move to the designated evacuation area and remain outside until an all clear signal is given by the fire department or campus security.

Campus emergencies, school closures and other important time sensitive notifications may be broadcast in several ways including text message alerts, email, bullhorn, runners, and posts on the Eagle Website. All residents are encouraged to sign up for the text message alerts through My Alerts in order to receive notifications quickly.
